Advantages: Really lovely smell and leaves hair very soft

Disadvantages: None!

Description:
Solid Shampoo Bar (Shampoo only, none of this 2-in-1 nonsense), heavy on the coconut, and intended to tame wild/dry hair. It comes in chunks rather than shaped cakes like some of the other LUSH Shampoo bars, and sells on the website for £4.50 per chunk. In the shops, you can choose a chunk of whatever size you like, which is nice, economic way of doing it - those with short hair are not stuck with 6 months worth of solid shampoo, for example.

Opinion:
This is the first solid shampoo I have been brave enough to try, and I am very impressed with it. It lathers very easily - just stroke it over your scalp a few times and you get a lovely froth of plentiful foamy lather which is more than enough for my short hair, and would be just as good, I think, for longer hair. The smell is also divine - when they say 'creamed coconut' they *mean* creamed coconut - it is very sweet-smelling and creamy, and the scent lasts all day. It also makes the shower smell nice.

Some reviews have commented that it does not seem to improve dry hair, but I have found that it works very well - my hair is quite coarse and thick, with a lot of kink and quite dry from colour treatments, and washing it with trichomania leaves it so clean that it squeaks, without any dryness at all. It is really gentle on my scalp, and I find that I don't need to use conditioner at all for every other wash.

Best of all, it is very economical - the satsuma-sized chuck I bought has so far lasted a month, and does not yet look visibly diminished. It certainly lasts a lot longer than the LUSH liquid shampoos, and is holding up well against more main-stream brandname liquid shampoos in terms of value for money. And I love the eco-benefits of 0-packaging - no soapy bottle to recycle.

In total, good price, lovely smell, easy to use, and excellent for thick, dry hair. I will certainly keep using this one.

Summary: Excellent LUSH product
